Triad by Sheila Finch

mikime's review against another edition

4.0

A novel about the encounter of a freighter human crew with a fascinating alien species on a mysterious planet, that leads to deep changes of perspective for many of the humans, to dramatic events and eventually to a possibly profound evolution of life on that planet and of the closely interconnected human-AI culture. A big part of the story is told from the point of view of the Linguist expert of the spaceship, and focuses on ber work of analysing and learning the alien language. A peculiar and interesting novel.
